By providing a modest stipend, ScholarPro Vetting reduces the challenge of finding peer reviewers for scholarly manuscripts while improving the quality and expediency of reviews received. Its use can attract better manuscripts and reviewers, thereby improving the quality of journals using the service.

On request, we seek reviewers for a given manuscript, send requests/reminders, and accept reviews through our system. (Usernames and passwords are not required.) The reviews are then sent to the journal office. Payments are accepted from journals and sent to reviewers via PayPal or Venmo.

Where we find reviewers

All reviewers have doctoral degrees and publications within the scope of the journal.
The process

The cost to journals is $100/review. The stipend to reviewers is $60/review. Subsequent revision reviews by the same reviewer cost $50 and pay $30. (Journals may opt to pay different amounts.) Reviewers may choose to have their stipends donated directly to a charity of their choice.
Search Service
We also offer a search service to journals that may not yet provide stipends to their reviewers, but wish to have a professionally curated list of 5-10 potential reviewers.
